Prior to purchased the BOAR winch for my new JEEP Wrangler, I'd the WARN on my Sahara and was recently sold, Warn is much more expensive doubled the price or more depends on what model with excellent reputations. I'd no intention of doing any off-road and for the esthetic, keeping the price on the low side including Synthetic rope made it extremely attractive. The Boar winch worked perfectly without a hitch. Two things to note. 1. There were several small scratches on the winch plate. 2. The battery cable for the positive side is short by about a foot unless you routed it differently and scrappped the looks. Company Does not offer longer cable but did offer few dollars adjustment. Overall, I am happy with this purchase.

Does what it's intended for. Went out on some trails with the Jeep and a couple of friends, one ended up getting stuck in the mud and the 9500lb winch pulled a 99 XJ right out :) I 'am impressed!!!

Solid performance at a very good price. Bought it to move a 10X14 foot shed (circa 3200 pounds) on gravel, worked pretty well until the skids dug in and started plowing which stopped it -- winch labored -- and then pulled by Ford F250 Crewcab (in park) over the 4x4 blocks. (only blocked the front tires. I know I should not have had it in park, but I did not anticipate a 6500 pound truck would be the thing that would move. The power cables are short. I added a quick connect, and then bought a 25 foot 2 gauge jumper cable, cut off three feet (leaving 22 feet) and added quick to both pieces. The jumper cable clamp on the battery and quick connect worked fine and allows me to use the winch in the front or back, or connect the cables back to together for a 25 jumper cable. Used remote out at 50 feet from winch, love it and worked well. Winch clutch did not free wheel-- or I am not strong enough to pull out. However, in reality it is not a problem to power out, especially with the remote in hand. I feel good about the purchase and that this meets my needs. Product seems well made and solid. I wish it had two remotes in case one fails but it still has the hard wired control. I would buy again and recommend.

Decided on this winch for my 2001 Ford F-150 along with a WORN Winch Mount System. Had to modify the back of the mounting legs slightly to match the WORN Mount by grinding off some of the legs where they mate to the mount. This winch has mounting legs that are just slightly thicker than what will directly mount on the WORN mount. Other than that, it's perfect!

I realize I was trying to get the biggest winch I could for my car which has the winch mount plate behind the front bumper. This winch is about 70+lb and difficult but not impossible for one person to install. The only real issue I had is it has a rather large clutch mechanism that sticks up 1 1/2" to 2" above the winch. This was too much to fit my truck. I decided to remove the clutch and fabricate one that was more flush with the winch (my recommendation to the manufacturer) but when I removed the existing clutch and installed the winch to see how much clearance there was that I would have I realized I could reinstall the original clutch after installing the winch. My limitation was only during the install because the gap between the radiator and winch mount was too small.
I have yet to really test the product but it is installed and appears to work. I tested the remote and the wireless remote and both appear to work fine. I will update my review after a practical test using the winch power.
